Reckless Assignation
“Suddenly everything made sense. Leeza Villeman, a woman he had once used badly in the name of the job. She’d sworn vengeance almost a decade ago.
“Where is she, Leeza?”
“She’s waiting for you to save her, Rick,” she said, a smile passing like a ghost across her face. She shifted to the left, leading him with her gaze to the monitor she had been hiding.
It took all his self-control not to react to the image that flickered before him in neutral tones on the monitor. The surveillance camera must b...e at ceiling level. It looked down into the bed he’d shared with Cindi such a short time ago, focusing on the stripped mattress. Cindi lay very still, one arm draped over the side of bed. She wasn’t moving, even her breathing was imperceptible. For one terrible, eternal second Rick thought she was already dead. Then she shifted slightly and a low moan slipped from her. She didn’t move again.
Rick knew better than to give their captor the satisfaction of pleading for Cindi’s life, but his heart put the words in his throat and he couldn’t resist them.MoreLess
